Book Reviews of The Tempest (Signet Classics)
Book Review: Oh wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Tempest is the most beautiful, magical play written by Shakespeare that I have ever read. Everything about the play is sparklingly beautiful: the setting on an uninhabited (tropical?) island; the character's personalities (Prospero's wisdom and magic, Miranda's innocence); and especially the poetry ("Be free, and fare thou well...", for example). Definitely my favourite Shakespeare play. I read what two American reviewers said about The Tempest and I am appalled. Although Shakespeare is not for everybody, The Tempest is a wonderful play to read, even for anti-Bards. At the very least, attempt this play with an open mind and you may be surprised at it's beauty.
